"My 2-and-a-half year old is full of stories and adventure. I love to share new things with her and see the world through her eyes."1

"The clearest lake in NY state is one of my favorite places to hike, swim, and relax."4

"An incredible French dessert I made recently that is packed full of black cherries."7

"I love to be in a new place and revel in the culture, food, and music."2

"Raspberries come from the rose family. The smell and flavor of fresh raspberries are hard to beat!"5

"There is something for everyone and you can get completely, wonderfully lost inside."8

"There is nothing quite like yoga to help you hit the reset button."3

"I enjoy music in all forms, but salsa is one of my favorites. When you dance salsa it is precise, but also very personal and expressive."6

"These were my favorite flowers from my childhood backyard and now my daughter enjoys them in our garden."9
